## Frequently asked questions

### What is a failed delivery in ecommerce shipping?

A failed delivery happens when an online order cannot be handed to the customer as planned, so the parcel needs another attempt or a return. For growing brands, how this is handled affects customer satisfaction. Working with a UK fulfilment provider such as EFCL, which manages labelling, postage, returns and customer support, helps keep the process organised so the customer still has a good experience.

### How can a 3PL help turn a failed delivery into a happy customer?

A 3PL helps by managing the whole order journey, from accurate pick and pack and correct labelling to postage, returns and customer support. EFCL, a UK ecommerce fulfilment centre based in Manchester, handles these steps for online sellers, so issues can be dealt with clearly and customers are kept informed rather than left frustrated.

### Does EFCL handle returns for ecommerce orders?

Yes, EFCL offers returns and inspection as part of its ecommerce fulfilment services. Returned items can be checked and processed, which helps online sellers manage parcels that come back, including those from failed deliveries. This sits alongside pick and pack, packaging, labelling, postage and customer support for brands selling across the UK.

### Which sales channels does EFCL fulfil orders for?

EFCL fulfils orders for Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop. It also provides ecommerce integrations, so orders from these platforms can flow into its fulfilment process. This lets growing brands use one UK 3PL to store, pack and ship orders from several marketplaces and online stores.

### Why should a growing brand use UK ecommerce fulfilment?

UK ecommerce fulfilment lets a growing brand hand storage, packing and shipping to a specialist so it can focus on selling. EFCL offers pick and pack, pallet storage, container handling, returns, labelling and postage, plus global sourcing, freight and customs clearance. There is also a dedicated package for new start-ups.
